Political Checklist: Watching Arizona and Michigan

The NewsHour Political Checklist returns as senior correspondents Judy Woodruff and Gwen Ifill talk with political editor Christina Bellantoni about what to watch during Tuesday's primaries.

Gwen and Judy agreed the elections in Arizona and Michigan demonstrate that Mitt Romney is still struggling to connect with conservatives. And they discussed how much of this primary season is like what the Democrats experienced in 2008.

Don't miss the close as Gwen and Judy call dibs on who gets to cover California's primary should the contest stretch out until June.
